The Future of School Measurement: Examining HB 4 and Texas Education Reform


Listen Later

This episode of Intersect Ed discusses how we measure the performance of Texas public schools, the value of local accountability systems, and the ways HB 4 could provide meaningful assessment reform for our schools and better support student learning for the sake of learning instead of assessment. Additionally, if HB 4 passed, it would put public schools on more of an equal playing field with private schools when it comes to testing, something that is a focus of SB 2 - the voucher bill that was signed by Gov. Abbott on May 3, 2025. 

Our Intersect Ed host, Morgan Smith, is joined by Harry Feder, Executive Director of FairTest - The National Center for Fair and Open Testing; Brad Owen, Superintendent at Burkburnett ISD; and Max Rombado, Legislative Director at Raise Your Hand Texas.
